    Response from my MTurk contact form yesterday:

    Slight update, not sure if it means anything, but my deposit went through - which by the way, is always EARLY when I'm sure something will approve overnight. Jerks. - and I am still able to accept hits, so I'm feeling slightly... unclenched. :bolt:

    when you try to find out if you can turk yet but it takes awhile because now there's a new error. but eventually you find out you're still suspended and can't turk regardless.

    yup i wasnt banned or payments issues. i cant get to dashboard at all. hits if i sit and refresh a bunch of times. eventually the error goes away for maybe 2 more refreshes and then comes back (im seeing if its stable enough to actually accept any hits or not). just....ugh

    servers slow again... they were blazing fast all last week, I'm guessing that they can't handle the capacity of even a normal amount of turking anymore so as soon as people got unsuspended (which is good I'm glad people are unsuspended and I hope everyone gets it fixed ASAP) the servers slowed back down again. can they fix it without suspending everyone?!

    This made me laugh out loud because an amazon customer service rep called it “m-truck” the day other when I was trying to get my account restored :emoji_joy:
